Tenebrae Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Bah, if you need to "remember" the crew at the end of 7 year show, you're clearly such a dullard you've probably forgotten an episode before the titles roll. The real issue with the DS9 finale has to be that it was an impromptu close. They involve a whole new species in the conflict and then manage to finish them off post haste.

slug Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 All the Trek finales are done with so much self conscious sentimentality that they don't really tell a story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arktis Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 All the Trek finales are done with so much self conscious sentimentality that they don't really tell a story. :o ZOMGWTF!!!!1 :stare: Please tell me you're excluding "All Good Things" from that statement. Sentimentality did play an integral role in the story for that one (especially due to the "Old Picard" future timeline parts), but it was by no means overly done and it was a good finale IMO. I can even see how the Voyager writers ripped off elements of it for their own finale. But of course, theirs was terrible, but certainly NOT because of being overly sentimental. I just have to disagree with you on this one... on multiple levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 All Good Things is probably one of the best Trek episodes ever, speak ill of it at your own peril. DS9 was a too quick wrap up. VOY was... bad and ENT was just like any other episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiggy Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Some ppl (like myself) have never seen all of DS9 You've put me right off you Ms Evap........and we were getting on so well. I was about to PM you with the dimensions of my Voyager but I wont now. But back onto the Cisco thing........as if a Star Fleet officer would just give up his job to become some silly worm hole god. Did the Federation just write the man off? So is the man dead or what? Or do we have to create a massive antimatter explosion in the worm hole to make sure? How come Jadzia Dax didnt even get a funeral? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arktis Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 I was about to PM you with the dimensions of my Voyager Pervert. But back onto the Cisco thing........as if a Star Fleet officer would just give up his job to become some silly worm hole god. Did the Federation just write the man off? So is the man dead or what? Or do we have to create a massive antimatter explosion in the worm hole to make sure? I look at it more as if he completely abandons his Federation principles at the the end (as if he hadn't done enough to turn his back on them already) and becomes the tool of an entirely different master. He's completed a radical metamorphosis... he's a different person than he was at the start of the show. He's never coming back... at least, not as Ben Sisko, if at all. Not even his son or his lover were enough to keep him grounded. How come Jadzia Dax didnt even get a funeral? She got a star blown up in her name. What more could you ask for?

Arktis Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 DS9 was a too quick wrap up. I agree. It felt rushed. What did you think about Odo suddenly going back to the founders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiggy Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Pervert. ......I thought it was a clever tie in with the plastic Voyager thread......I dont know what you were thinking? And as they say at the conventions....takes a trekie to know a trekie! She got a star blown up in her name. What more could you ask for? A torpedo casing ejected into the wormhole.......seams to me like the script writers forgot about the Jadzia hoste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A torpedo casing ejected into the wormhole.......seams to me like the script writers forgot about the Jadzia hoste. I thinks they have different traditions/beliefs about the death of a host, because I think that the host is basicly tranferred into the symbiant at the time of death, right? So the body probably doesn't matter anymore. Similarly, Klingons do not have any funeral rituals other than to sometimes stay with the body in order to ward off predators. Otherwise, the body is merely an empty shell, and they instruct outsiders to "please treat it as such". Come to think of it, Jadzia did have something... Worf stayed with her body when it was in the casing and that's when he tells us about the predator-warding thing ("get to da' choppah!"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vfn4i83 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Not insulted, but it is the 2 worst episode ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Jadzia's death was arbritrary - Farrel wanted out... I think season 7 would have been a lot better without the abomination of Ezri Dax... As someone once said... It's like DS9 realised they didn't have someone useless and utterly incomptent like Troi. Ezri Dax: HELLLLOOOO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antipodean Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I never minded Ezri - but then again, watching it first time round, I was a teenager and had something of a crush for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 While it's easier to forgive attractive people, waifish and irritating Ezri might as well have been hit with the ugly stick for me. Jadzia was enjoyable because she was confident and sexually confident in a way you'd expect someone who had lived more than half a dozen lives to be.

Chiggy Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Perhaps Star Fleet is like any modern day business run by men.......they like eye candy......they arent bothered if a women can do the job or not as long as they look good and hang around them in the general area of work. Sorry this isnt a sexist comment its a reality I have come to know.........equal opportunities.....whats that? Would you rather have Obrian or Ezri depart with on on an away mission? Quick make up you mind! LOL While it's easier to forgive attractive people ......and go down on the ugly ones like a ton of bricks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] Yeah, but as foxy as Farrell might have been, de Boer had that amazing lisp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
